    transmitting instructions to the remote device in the first operational mode to transmit and receive in the second operational mode;

    receiving an operational incoming signal from a remote device in the second operational mode after transmitting the instructions to the remote device, the operational incoming signal including information related to a revised remaining battery power in the remote device;

    determining that a third operational mode will be the first possible mode if the revised remaining battery power in the remote device is within the first range;

    determining that the third operational mode will be the second possible mode if the revised remaining battery power in the remote device is within the second range; and
